Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine rolled oats, unsweetened almond milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and are tender.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until it reaches a smooth consistency.
Step 5
Once the oats are cooked, stir in the mashed banana, protein powder, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 6
Continue to cook on low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure a creamy texture.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from the heat and divide the oatmeal into two serving bowls.
Step 8
